CPR Month is a good time to remember that cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere. ⛑ In Canada, roughly 40,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur each year, and immediate CPR can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival.

Knowing how to recognize the signs, start CPR, and use an AED gives you the skills to act while waiting for emergency services. Keeping a well-stocked first aid kit nearby means you also have the basic supplies you might need in other emergencies.

Getting trained and having the right equipment on hand helps you feel more prepared to help when it matters most. Learn more about CPR and first aid training at SJA.ca.

Happy Halloween Ontario! 👻

Do you know what some common safety hazards are today?
🎃 Watch for trip and fall hazards: Costumes should fit well and allow children to see and move comfortably. Keep walkways and stairs clear of decorations and other obstacles.

🩹 Be ready for minor injuries: Scrapes, cuts, and blisters can happen while trick-or-treating or playing. Make sure your first aid kit is stocked and easy to access.

🍬 Keep treats out of reach: Remind children not to eat treats until a trusted adult has checked them. Keep candy and other foods away from pets.

🕯️ Be careful with decorations: Keep candles and other sources of heat away from costumes, paper decorations, and areas where they can be knocked over.

🚗 Stay visible: Choose reflective clothing or accessories and carry a flashlight when heading out after dark. Remind children to use sidewalks and cross at designated crossings.

We hope you have a safe & fun Halloween.

This World Stroke Day, Act FAST! 🧠⛑

Every minute counts. A stroke is a medical emergency. Knowing the key signs and acting quickly can save a life and improve recovery. Remember the St John Ambulance FAST guide:

F – Face: Is one side drooping? Uneven smile, droopy mouth or eye?
A – Arms: Can they raise both arms? Does one drift down?
S – Speech: Is their speech slurred or strange? Can they understand you?
T – Time: Call 999 (or 112) immediately and say you suspect a stroke.

While waiting for help, keep the person comfortable and reassured. Do not give them anything to eat or drink. Share this to help others recognise the signs. Time lost is brain lost.

Halloween is a good reminder to think about the safety and well-being of our pets. With more visitors, unfamiliar noises, costumes, decorations, and treats around the house, it’s worth taking a few extra steps to help keep them comfortable and safe. ⛑🎃

Here are a few tips to keep in mind this Halloween to keep your pets happy and safe:

🍬 Keep treats out of reach: Chocolate, candy, and some sugar-free treats can be harmful to pets.
🔕 Give them a quiet space: Set up a comfortable area where your pet can get away from visitors and unfamiliar noises.
🕯 Keep decorations safely out of reach: Secure candles, wires, small decorations, and anything your pet could chew or swallow.
🧛‍♂️ Check costumes carefully: If your pet wears a costume, make sure it fits comfortably and doesn’t restrict their movement or breathing.
🚪 Watch the front door: Keep pets safely indoors and away from the doorway when visitors arrive to help prevent them from slipping outside.

Pet safety matters year-round, and knowing how to respond when your pet is injured or unwell is an important part of being a responsible pet owner. Halloween is a great opportunity to check your supplies, review your pet’s safety plan, and build your confidence with pet first aid.
